Europe Italy : Mirial unveiled that Swedish service provider Unicorn will leverage on its PSE Media Server and PSE 3G Gateway ( above ) to enable the offering of Premium video services to 3G subscribers through local and International telephony operators.

PSE Media Server is the preferred choice of carriers and service providers wishing to develop revenue generating, IP-based audio/video services; 100% reliable and scalable, it allows to create, modify and adapt interactive, customs-tailored applications. The product features a native and optimized support for low bandwidth in 3G networks, environments to which its reach can be extended thanks to a combined implementation with the Mirial PSE 3G Gateway.

Unicorn will integrate both the products into its UVPA (Unicorn Video Portal Architecture), which will be released by the end of April 2008.

"Flexible user experience, easy integration, quality and reliability are just some of the strong points we found in Mirial products" comments Kiano Mottaghian, Business Manager at Unicorn. "In order to deploy services such as the webcasting, which is centered on the transmission of user-generated contents through the Internet and is meant to make video capabilities, mobility advantages, community features and web specificities converge, it is fundamental for us to rely on a technology that interoperates perfectly with communication standards and integrates effortlessly in our environment: we chose Mirial products because they match exactly our need, enabling us to implement proprietary applications using a standard interface".

Cristoforo Mione, VP Marketing at Mirial, comments: "We engineer and produce all our appliances internally with the aim of offering reliable, carrier-proof solutions, and we're more than happy to hear that also the latest implementation of our products is confirming our commitment. We were glad to work with a trusted partner as Unicorn and are confident that our platforms will be a solid foundation for their services to grow upon".

Mirial PSE Media Server and PSE 3G Gateway are available at the company resellers and distributors worldwide.
